For the rest the ordinary mono. is practically on the same lines as the 1912. The racer is somewhat on Deperdu in lines, but the body is built up inside. No fixed tail. The hydro. is an enlarged edition of the mono. Floats display nothing very original, except that a float under tail is interconnected with the rudder, and that the two front floats are fitted for being rowed. Fitted with a self-starter.
